<h1>Validity of a test</h1>

<p><b><u>Is <u>valid</u> our test?</u></b></p>

<p>- First, it should be noted that the importance of the content under consideration is <b>relevant</b>. Relevant not only for what they can dictate common sense, but by the objectives set for the course. For example, if some students insist that history should focus on understanding the causes and consequences of war, and when the bomb to examine questions about dates, we are being inconsistent.</p>

<p>- Secondly, we should ensure the representativeness <b> </ b>. If we made a test to all the contents of the course, we will have to give each issue the attention it deserves, must be represented <i>whole universe of knowledge</i> of the subject, never skip important parts intentionally.</p>

<p>- The validity is also sensitive to <b>response format</b> that we will use. For example, if we want to assess the student's skill developing a reasoned opinion on a particular subject, necessarily have to resort to an open response format ("questionnaires essay questions"). If, on the contrary, we want to give the result of an arithmetic operation, the formats "numerical response" and "multiple choice" are suggested as the most suitable.</p>
